Abridged Book Description[]

Of the films Ingmar Bergman made in the mid-to-late 1960s with Max von Sydow and Liv Ullmann on his beloved island of Faro, Shame is perhaps the greatest... This study of the devastating effects of war on a couple is one of the most persuasive accounts of a relationship transformed by forces over which it has little or no control.
